Pojangmacha U-Dong
December 1st, 2005
A pojangmacha is a wheeled Korean stall/cart serving food and drink set up on the city’s streets. The package has the Korean spelling of “U-Dong” for the Japanese Udon style thick soft noodles.
The noodle soup has a spicy seafare taste that’s a blend of anchovy with two kinds of seaweed and pepper powder. There are some roasted popped wheat grits, sesame seeds and green onion which add textures and highlights for a tasty, well balanced serving.
Most of the soup solids are at the bottom of the bowl. Curiously, there is a square of heavy kelp type seaweed that could be a trademark for this dish. If you’re not a seaweed lover to begin with, you may find it both bland and wierd.
Cooking Directions
- Bring to boil 2 cups of water.
- Add noodle and ingredients to boiling water and simmer 4-5 minutes, stir occasionally.
- For better serving, add fresh vegetables and scallions, if desired (see image).

This one was perfect! The noodles are thick with an excellent flavor. The base is not too oily, not too salty and has just the right amount of fish taste, simply put, it was delicious. This one tastes best when served very hot! I would buy this again and recommend it to my friends.
